Excerpt from A Forgotten Great Englishman: Or the Life and Work of Peter Payne, the Wycliffite In sending forth this volume upon a most interesting and momentous period of the worlds history, I plead for it fair and generous criticism. I have tried to deal with the subject in no narrow sectarian spirit. Tracing the material for it has been a most interesting and even exciting occupation, and as the wild yet earnest life of the time has passed under review, with all its fierce cruelties, jealous hatreds, and hot passion, the sense of how much we in these later days owe to Wycliffe and Payne and their followers in Bohemia has deepened. They were among the first in medieval Europe to make a firm stand against the corrupt dominance of the Roman Catholic system over the souls of men.
